simulations

Hi Friends,
I am planning to take up RHCE exam but at present I don't have access
to any network (LAN). I enquired about the coaching classes and they
are too expensive.
I can study by myself cause google and LDP is there to rescue me but I
need some kind Network Simulation to do the lab practice.
What I want to know is there any software simulation for this
(something Like CISCO simulation programs) or any other solution?
Regards,
Subho

Go to a second-hand shop and buy two or three old machines (you don't need
the fancy ones: old 486 will do) some network card, a bunch of
cables and one switch or two and setup your own private lab.

Here is a robust network simulator:
